This beautiful cove features a rocky reef set against the dramatic cliffs of the Maro-Cerro Gordo natural park, creating a pristine underwater environment. The protected park waters support excellent biodiversity including moray eels, octopuses, colorful nudibranchs, and dense schools of Mediterranean fish. The clear waters and lush Posidonia meadows are home to pipefish and occasional seahorses. Shore entry from the secluded beach offers a tranquil diving experience away from busier sites, with the natural park scenery above adding to the appeal.
